    crazy amount of surface water on pitch

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      Funny if it gets abandoned and the result and all FPL are void.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        please no haha 😀

        blackburn match was earlier

  2. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    I miss Kane in the PL

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      fpl isnt the same without him, Son and KDB

  3. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    United already in defensive mood. Ffs you’re up two goals show some guts.

    1. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      But they are showing guts, Casemiro just performed Harakiri

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Quite literally 😛

  4. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years

    This game needs abandoned. Playing surface not safe.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      Yeah

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      They’re talking about it now, do points get wiped?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Yep

    3. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      Agree, void the game and all FPL points

      1. Capocannonieri
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Yes, let's do that but Palmer C still get a 1pt, I'm enjoying their tears

  5. DeeJazz
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    So my idea is to make 3 transfers (2FT and -4 ) and my idea is:

    1) Strand Larsen -> Haaland
    2) Salah -> Xavi Simons
    3) Sanchez -> Petrovic

    Only other ideas I have for 2 and 3 point

    2) Salah -> Kudus, Ndiaye or Paqueta
    3) Sanchez -> Emi Martinez or Pickford

    Can you please advice which option you will choose or maybe you recommend other players ?

    Thanks !!!

  6. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years

    Dorgu and Mbeumo in each other's way, comical.

  7. nonaynever
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    I see the RAF's aeronautical display team in my future

  8. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    If they abandon the match what happens?

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      All I want is for that Sanchez -3 to become 0 😆

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        It’s still raining so good chance it does I think

        1. Thanos
          • 4 Years
          10 months, 20 hours ago

          You’re giving me hope

    2. Mother Farke
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      Replayed like Luton v Bourenmouth after Lockyer's heart attack?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Ah yeah good shout

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Did they wipe the points from the first match I can’t remember

        1. tutankamun
          • 16 Years
          10 months, 19 hours ago

          Points were voided

  9. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    Looks like more RC will be out soon

  10. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years

    This is why you have a playing sub keeper to bail you out of those situations where your No.1 does something daft and gets sent off.

    Now, lets have a look at Dubravka's fixture next week.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      Luckily Sanchez serves his suspension in the league cup and available for GW6....

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Is it just the one match then? I just assumed straight red = 3. I guess it wasn't violent conduct.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          10 months, 19 hours ago

          DOGSO

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      Odd logic. So, you'd always start your sub keeper on the off chance your main does something daft?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Disregard, this was suspension-related, I'm slow today.

  12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    Players slipping all over the place, this can’t continue

  13. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    Diving is taking on a new meaning today...

    1. NoOneCares
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      That is confirmation of nothing.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      Would you sell him ahead of Brighton at home?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Yes.

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 20 hours ago

        Yes

        He won’t be 100 percent even if he is in the squad and the injury is minor

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 19 hours ago

          Easy route to Haaland at least

        2. NoOneCares
          10 months, 19 hours ago

          It hasn't been confirmed he is injured FFS.

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            10 months, 19 hours ago

            I also think it was tactical (bizarrely), if he was injured he wouldn’t have started

  14. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    Garbacho coming on.

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 20 hours ago

      This going to be fun 🙂

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 20 hours ago

    Pathetic from Santos

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    Josh King starts again

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      I think he might be my Salah replacement...

  17. Voronins Pony Tail
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    Missed all the drama in this game, why did Palmer come off, tactical?

    Brought him for Bruno this week as part of a -4 so clearly overjoyed

  18. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    Boomo is really poor in this United team. Passing, shooting or even first touch. All gone.

    1. NoOneCares
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      The entire Man United team is poor. Have been for a decade.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      its a shame hes been pushed to striker this half, doesnt suit him

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      Regressing to the mean after a purple patch last season

      1. TafOnTour1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        10 months, 19 hours ago

        Mate, he scored 127 points the season before the last season, and 150 points the season before that. HOW is this "regressing to the mean"?!

  19. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon, Lukić, Berge, Wilson, King, Iwobi, Muniz

    Subs: Lecomte, Cuenca, Castagne, Cairney, Smith Rowe, Jiménez, Traoré, Chukwueze, Kevin

    Brentford XI: Kelleher, Kayode, van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Henderson, Yarmoliuk, Schade, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter, Thiago

    Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Henry, Ajer, Jensen, Carvalho, Onyeka, Janelt, Ouattara

    DGW if matched abandoned...

    1. Mother Farke
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      Save the TC?

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      Not going to be abandoned.

  21. NoOneCares
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    10 v 10, Man U back to looking utter garbage.

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      Chelsea hardly better, tbf.

  22. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    Another tight one, could be given

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      LOL, a couple of yards offside is "tight" somehow?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 19 hours ago

        Keeper looked like he was playing him on 😉

  23. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    Really need to chain out Dango on my WC. Was a huge mistake to unchain him.

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      If you're going to go for clearly racist humor, at least make it less of labored pun, ffs.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 19 hours ago

        Where's the racism?

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 19 hours ago

          Not shocked you don't see it.

      2. Mother Farke
        • 2 Years
        10 months, 19 hours ago

        Dango Unchained is a film you melt.

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 19 hours ago

          I'm well aware.

      3. NoOneCares
        10 months, 19 hours ago

        Oh shut up with your fake racism tripe.

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 19 hours ago

          Well, at least your username is on brand.

          1. NoOneCares
            10 months, 19 hours ago

            Says the clown who is talking about someone dropping dead in theirs. No one cares about your fake racism shouts.

  24. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    mbeumo survives jam

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      He better get a goal now. Fate also wants it 😛

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years

  25. The Bandit

  26. Thanos
    • 4 Years

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      Mistaken for Mazraoui? 😆

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 19 hours ago

        They look quite similar tbf

  27. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 19 hours ago

    What’s the reason Xavi Simons only played 29 mins?
    Worth bringing in for next two games?

    1. NoOneCares
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      He is their best player and looked lively yet again.

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 18 hours ago

        Thanks for that. Is he worth bringing in? Great matchups

  28. gooberman

    • 14 Years

    Disastrous match for Sanchez and Cucurella owners. A total of - 2 between them.

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 19 hours ago

      -3

  29. fedolefan
